Producer Dil Raju Opens Up On Inflated Box Office Collections In Tollywood

Hyderabad, May 21 - Noted Telugu film producer, Dil Raju has said that the Tollywood film industry urgently needs a proper tracking system to stop producers from inflating box office collections. ## Inflating box office numbers in Tollywood is not new as the numbers game has risen to the top of the priority list in Tollywood. The latest film in question is Mahesh Babu's "Sarakru Vaari Paata". While the producers have revealed that the movie is nearing Rs. 200 crores worldwide, Twitter has been buzzing with questions about how the producers were able to pull in such large crowds despite the film's mixed reviews.## In response to a similar question, producer Dil Raju stated that this trend has continued for all films and that no one film stands out in terms of box office receipts. He hopes that in Telugu states, proper tracking will be implemented to prevent these inflated collections.## "It's not fair to judge a film solely on its box office receipts. Even without proof, a few websites published that some of the 'SVP' collections were simply fake. These problems could be solved with a proper box office tracking system", says Dil Raju.## Meanwhile, Dil Raju is awaiting the release of "F3: Fun and Furstration", which is scheduled to release on May 27th. It stars Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannah Bhatia, Mehreen Pirzada, and Sonal Chauhan, among others in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

Telugu Movie 'F3' Producers Will Not Apply For Ticket Price Hike In AP-TG

Hyderabad, May 12 - For the last few months, the big-budget Telugu movies have been released with ticket price hikes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. While this strategy has benefitted films like "RRR" and "KGF Chapter", the same wasn't the case with "Radhe Shyam", and "Acharya". ## The producers of the upcoming Telugu comedy movie, "F3: Fun and Frustration", seem to have learned from the previous movies and have reportedly decided against the ticket price hikes. According to Telangana Today, the "F3" producers have decided to use standard ticket prices.## While the official confirmation is yet to be made, "F3" will be the first big-budget Telugu movie to be released with regular ticket prices ever since the governments allowed prices to hike for movie tickets.## The growing ticket prices have been a topic of discussion within the Indian film fraternity since the last year. The covid-19 pandemic has made the audiences hesitant towards visiting theaters to watch the movies and on top of that, the price hike is also not helping either. The impact of huge ticket rates could be seen in the recent movies that bombed at the box office despite positive reviews from critics. ## Moving back to "F3", if the makers decide to go with old ticket prices, it will surely benefit the makers to generate more footfalls, and if it gets good reactions, then the film could become a family blockbuster just like its preceder. ## Directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations, "F3" movie stars Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannaah, and Mehreen Pirzada reprising their roles from the previous film alongside Sunil and Sonal Chauhan as new additions. It will be released on May 27th worldwide. ## Stay tuned...
